Bill Anderson The Paper Lyrics

The Paper Lyrics

I signed the paper, she signed below me

The judge said, "Married", she said, "Hold me"

Church bells started, as we departed

Straight into life we sailed just like a fairy tale

Hopefully heartache



I signed the paper, she signed beside me

The bank said, "Good luck", she said, "Provide me"

I gave it all I had, still it turned out bad

Little games of cat and mouse

And simply playing house, ain't that sad?



Pitty all the puzzle, didn't fit

It wasn't me, it wasn't her

It was life, that somehow up and quit



I signed the paper, she signed without me

The judge said, "Over" as darkness found me

Standing on the street while lying with my feet

All our dreams and plans, nothing in my hands

Except the paper



It feels a lot like death

Because there's nothing left

Except the paper
